Nokia has announced that its Lumia 1020 smartphone, which features a 41-megapixel camera, is now available for pre-order in the UK, and will go on sale in stores on 25 September.
Nokia first unveiled its Lumia 1020 smartphone back in July. The device has a 4.5-inch screen and runs on a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor with Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system. It is available in a choice of yellow, white or black.
However, the Lumia 1020's crowning glory is its PureView 41-megapixel camera, which Nokia claims is able to produce some of the sharpest images possible by any digital camera.
The Lumia 1020 includes a new application called Nokia Pro Camera, designed to make it easy for anyone to take professional quality images. Either before a picture is taken or after it has been shot, the user can see how the zoom capability and the chosen settings will affect the final photo or video.
Another new feature is dual capture, which simultaneously takes a high resolution 38-megapixel image to set aside for editing, and creates a 5-megapixel picture to share to social networks via Windows Phone 8.
The 41 megapixel sensor features Zeiss optics and a choice of six physical lenses, plus optical image stabilisation, claiming to deliver crystal clear pictures even in low light conditions.]
It also captures blur-free videos with stereo sound even at the loudest concerts due to Nokia Rich Recording, designed to handle sound pressure levels six times louder than conventional smartphone microphones.
“We are delighted with the response we have received from the UK marketplace” said Conor Pierce, VP, Nokia UK and Ireland. “It is clear that there is a strong appetite for a smartphone with such unrivaled image taking capabilities. The ability to express your imaging creativity and then share instantly really does put this phone in a class of its own.”
The device will be available from all major retailers and network operators including, 3, O2, Vodafone, EE, Phones 4U and Carphone Warehouse on 25 September. Anyone who pre-orders the Lumia 1020 before that date will also get a free Nokia Camera Grip, wireless charging back cover, wireless charging plate and tripod worth £150.
Photos taken on a Nokia Lumia smartphone will feature in a forthcoming edition of National Geographic magazine. The full set of images is available here.
